- Comment on European Style Anime Suggestions? 2 days ago:
Worth noting that the Legend of the Galactic Heroes remake has far worse music and character designs, so I recommend people go with the older one.
- Comment on [Discussion] 10 Best Long-Running Anime That Will Keep Fans Busy For Years 4 days ago:
But sort of requires some meta-knowledge of pre-2010 anime to really be elevated.
You also have to be comfortable with an average of around 1-2 mosiac’d dicks and other things on-screen per episode.
- Comment on [Discussion] Which anime has the most mysterious atmosphere? 4 days ago:
Probably .hack//SIGN but tbh the atmosphere and the music are that show’s only merits. I can’t really recommend it.
- Comment on [Discussion] 10 Best Long-Running Anime That Will Keep Fans Busy For Years 4 days ago:
The issue I have with this is that most of these shows either suck or have large sections that suck. The only one here I could recommend the entire run of with a straight face is Gintama, and it takes a certain kind of person to appreciate Gintama.
- Comment on Anime studio bankruptcies and closures continue to rise for third consecutive year in Japan 5 days ago:
I don’t think that’s the issue. The anime industry makes tons of money. The issue is that that most of that money doesn’t go to the studios doing the animation.

Right? I’d be so happy if I found this!
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 45] 1 week ago:
While I was in Japan I stopped by the Kyoto International Manga Museum and read the first volume of Daemons of the Shadow Realm/Yomi no Tsugai. I really liked it, so I picked up volumes 1-10 to read once I finish my re-read of Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
I also picked up the following:
- Yuru Camp, complete series - This one I’ve seen the anime adaptation of. It wasn’t a bad adaptation, but given the nature of the story I suspect I’ll like it as a manga more. I guess I’ll find out.
- Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt, vol 1-13 - After seeing the excellent movies that came out of this my curiosity was piqued concerning the rest of the story.
- Mobile Suit Gundam Crossbone Gundam Ghost, vol 1-5 & 7 - Gonna be honest, this one was an accident. I didn’t look super close at the title and thought I was getting Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam. I have no idea if Ghost is any good, or if it’s even something I can reasonably read without context from Crossbone Gundam.
- Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Re: Master Edition, vol 1 - I love the G Gundam anime, so when I saw this in the bookstore it was a no-brainer.
- Medalist, vol 1-11 - I’ve read this one online, and it was great. I picked up the volumes simply because I wanted them, but also because I haven’t read any of the volume extras yet.
- Magic Knight Rayearth, complete series - I’ve read the first chapter of this one and the art was really good. Will this be the second time a shoujo mech isekai from the 90s impresses me? I guess I’ll find out.
I almost picked up a full 77 volume set of Gintama for $100, but ended up deciding that bringing such a thing home would be too impractical. Shame.

Really? Death Note certainly has a goth aesthetic to it, but I’m not sure what’s “horror” about it besides that.

Seems like a good dub, but I hope nobody got spoiled on one of the most important scenes in the series by this!
- Comment on [Discussion] These 10 Anime Masterpieces Are a Rite of Passage for Every Fan 1 week ago:
I honestly don’t think anything with the pacing issues of Dragon Ball Z should be on this list. I can’t imagine actually suggesting to someone that they sit through all that when they could be watching Gurren Lagann or something instead.

Ah, that makes far more sense.

Wait, you watched and enjoyed The Promised Neverland season 2? Or just the first one? Because those were very different experiences.

Is LINE actually as bad as Twitter though? I don’t know much about it.

Twitter is unfortunately still very big in Japan.
- Comment on "The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You" Season 3 Teaser Visual 2 weeks ago:
Oh heck yeah my favorite from the manga is in there. I’m both excited to hear her insane way of speaking voice acted and curious to see what the English dub does as an analog.

I swear we’ve seen this already.

Things seem to be going downhill, but superior subtitles was one of their big selling points.
- Comment on [Chapter] Ubunchu! - Ch. 16 [Extras] 3 weeks ago:
I just about died when I saw that song choice. I’ve actually seen a recording of Stallman singing that song before. It was terrible and that’s what was running through my head as I read the lyrics.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")? 4 weeks ago:
That’s certainly true. I remember watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood with my roommates. It was their first anime. Nothing like that for dozens of episodes, and then suddenly Winrey’s taking her shirt off.
- Comment on "Witch Hat Atelier" Key Visual 4 weeks ago:
Exciting! Hopefully the delays gave them enough time to give this the care it deserves.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")? 4 weeks ago:
There’s plenty of great anime out there that isn’t shounen and doesn’t have fanservice though! Princess Jellyfish comes to mind, or City the Animation if you’d prefer something more recent.

A certain subset of anime fans would be very angry right now if they could read!

That’s great news! I remember it took Kaguya-sama: Love is War ages to get a full official translation, and The Legend of the Galactic Heroes/銀河英雄伝説 still doesn’t have one.
- Comment on [Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen. 4 weeks ago:
Redline is the movie that proved to me that an anime doesn’t need a super clever plot to be a 10/10 experience. What a blast.

I have good news for you: this may seem impossible, but you haven’t even gotten to the coolest part of Kill la Kill yet. The last third of that show is incredible.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 41] 5 weeks ago:
I finished The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity today, and while I did like it I didn’t love it. It didn’t really feel like Waguri had a personality beyond being nice, smiling a lot, working hard, and liking Rintaro. I loved Rintaro’s parents and friends though.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 5 weeks ago:
Closed captions and subtitles aren’t the same thing; closed captions specifically are made for people who can’t hear. That’s why they include things like “phone ringing”.
- Comment on [Episode] Witch Watch - Episode 25 discussion 5 weeks ago:
Well that was an extremely average episode to round out an extremely average show. I just about died from second-hand embarrassment though!
- Comment on First Season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans is now on YouTube 5 weeks ago:
I mean, there wasn’t even one attempted genocide! Have you seen Victory Gundam? IMO it’s a lot more bleak, though also not as good tbh so if you haven’t watched it don’t feel compelled to.
- Comment on First Season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans is now on YouTube 5 weeks ago:
You think so? Considering that it’s a Gundam show with such an edgy name it ended up being downright lighthearted compared to what I was expecting.
